Question

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF WILTING IN BIOLOGY

Answer 1

Answer:

Wilting is of three types: Temporary wilting – It is the temporary drooping down of leaves and young shoots due to the loss of turgidity during noon. ... Permanent wilting –It is that state in the loss of turgidity of leaves when they do not regain their turgidity even when being placed in a suitable atmosphere.

Explanation:

Wilting is the loss of rigidity of non-woody parts of plants. This occurs when the turgor pressure in non-lignified plant cells falls towards zero, as a result of diminished water in the cells. Wilting also serves to reduce water loss, as it makes the leaves expose less surface area.
